Learning Programs

All kindergarten students enroll in the Contemporary program, a traditional classroom setting where students learn in English.

There are two programs available for students in grades 1–5, Contemporary and Compañeros. The Compañeros program is an immersion program where students’ learning is split evenly between English and Spanish.

Response to Intervention

Response to Intervention is a multi-level framework that integrates instruction, assessment and intervention within a school-wide prevention system to maximize student achievement and reduce behavior problems.

Through school-wide screening, students who need a targeted or intensive approach to learning are identified. Interventions are implemented, progress is monitored and data-based decision making occurs to determine the next steps for each student.

School Improvement

Guided by the district’s strategic plan and the annual goals of the district’s advisory committee, each of our schools and programs develops an annual Site Improvement Plan (SIP). The plan includes school-wide student achievement goals, school climate goals and action plans to support the achievement of each of these goals.
